The Canadian Rockies don't ask your age. They ask if you're ready to feel small in the best way possible.
For seven days, you’ll move through landscapes so vast they recalibrate your sense of what matters. Turquoise lakes mirror snow-capped peaks. Alpine trails wind through ancient forests. And, among a group of women who are doing this with you, something shifts. You feel stronger and more connected than you can imagine.
This journey isn’t about proving anything. It’s about being part of something larger than your daily concerns, your anxieties, your limiting beliefs about what your body can still do.
This is where awe becomes medicine. Where challenge meets care. Where science, nature, and camaraderie come together to build confidence, capacity, and a lasting sense of belonging, on the trail and beyond.
Super Age is a new media brand focused on whole-human longevity, guided by a simple question: how do you build a life that stays expansive, resilient, joyful, and deeply alive over time?
They explore the science of long-term vitality of the body, mind, and spirit: from how experiences of awe support the nervous and immune systems to how movement builds lasting capacity, and we share evidence-based practices that sustain resilience beyond trends. Their work translates cutting-edge research into lived experience, strengthening physical endurance, emotional range, cognitive flexibility, and meaningful connection.
On every Super Age x AdventureWomen journey, a Super Age facilitator joins the group and will guide a series of Awe Walks. Woven into hikes and quiet moments, Awe Walks deepen adventure, helping integrate challenge, beauty, and perspective into something transformational.
These experiences are designed not only to challenge the body, but to recalibrate perspective, so people leave feeling more capable, more grounded, and more open to what’s possible in this one beautiful life.
✓ Iconic Mountain Trail Hikes - Hike world famous routes like Lake Louise, Emerald Basin, and Moraine Lake, alongside expert guides who reveal local stories and hidden gems.
✓ Awe Walks around turquoise lakes, dramatic peaks, and alpine forests, designed using research-backed protocols to cultivate wonder and connection.
✓ Expert AdventureWomen guides who understand both the terrain and the transformative power of mountain immersion.
✓ Relaxation and Nordic Spa - After days of rewarding adventure, unwind at a rejuvenating Nordic Spa with steam, hot and cold pools, and restorative massage.
✓ Connection with like-minded women who choose bold experiences over small living.
✓ Evidence that shifts everything - Return home with proof that your most powerful chapters are still unfolding.
Super Age Awe Walks are a signature practice unique to our partnership with AdventureWomen. Awe Walks were developed by leading awe researcher Dacher Keltner in collaboration with Super Age Founding Editor Heather Hurlock. Grounded in decades of research revealing how experiences of wonder shape human health, resilience, and longevity, Awe Walks are guided experiences that invite you to intentionally notice vastness, beauty, and novelty in the natural world. Rather than focusing on pace or performance, the practice emphasizes how attention, emotion, and meaning shift when we encounter something larger than ourselves.
Research shows that regular experiences of awe are associated with:
Lower chronic stress and inflammatory markers
Improved emotional regulation and mood
A greater sense of connection, meaning, and time abundance
Psychological and physiological patterns linked to long-term resilience
On this journey, Awe Walks are woven naturally into hikes, lakeside pauses, and moments of stillness. They are not separate from the adventure, they enrich it, helping the nervous system integrate challenge, beauty, and effort into something lasting.
Through expert-guided alpine hiking and intentional awe practices, this immersion helps you embody something vast: possibility and aliveness. Research shows that awe in nature doesn't just make us feel better, it makes us more generous, less stressed, and deeply connected to our purpose. You'll return with a recalibrated sense of what you're capable of for years to come.
